That's normal with precompiled programs. rpm-build finds these dependencies in the executables, shared libraries, object files, (and even in scripts for several script-based programming languages). I find it more strange that you write you examined the binaries manually but you didn't say what requirements you were able to find. > I have tried to discover why these files would be added as dependencies > by following the steps the find-requires script takes (as described on > http://www.rpm.org/max-rpm-snapshot/s1-rpm-depend-auto-depend.html). > But they are not listed (well "libverify.so" is but not > "libverify.so(VER_1)"). VER_1 is a version symbol you can find in the library with readelf/objdump and similar tools. > How can I determine whether or not these files are actually needed?

It is possible to disable the automatic dependencies, but that would not be helpful in your case, because you would be missing libraries at run-time. Alternatively, if the package includes optional binaries, it would be possible to exclude them from the package, provided that you don't want them. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
